“Ana and Luca were wonderful. Ana had absolutely amazing energy for the tour, and Luca who took us to extra sites since Blue Grotto wasn’t open (high tides). Luca is also a very highly skilled captain, getting us so close to the amazing rocks! We drank, ate, and swam plenty, and saw beautiful sites and had a wonderful time. We went on 9/28 and the water for swimming was amazing - from someone who refuses to get in cold water! Great tour, great people, highly recommend.”

Travel from Sorrento by air-conditioned minibus to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius. A local guide leads you past the Forum, baths, markets, theaters, and famous houses before you hike to the volcano crater at 1,280 meters. Guides such as Louisa, Lulu, Roberto, and Luigi are known for lively, informative tours.

“This was an awesome way to see both Pompeii and Vesuvius in one day. Our tour guide Louisa was wonderful and full of knowledge. The climb up Vesuvius is exhilarating but be aware that it is a steep climb, so wear the right shoes and pace yourself. You’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the crater, Naples, and the Mediterraneans Sea when you reach the top. Also, there are no restrooms anywhere on the mountain, so make sure you go before the bus ride.”
